" "Now but a shade
ahead on my life’s course will languish.
Behind is laid
my now abandoned way of anguish. Behind me lies
the spring beneath its cruel icing.
It life supplies –
to summer verses’ door enticing. It’s taken me,
this chilling hand that yet I cherish.
And now I see
in summer’s heart that I must perish.
